I am doing Ironman teams event in Busselton in a week.I am Planning to go 4hr and 30 mins (40km avg)So far this year I have done 41km State TT in 57min, 82km State TT in 1:58 and a week later did 160km state TT in 4:10 the 80k and 160k was the first TT at that distanceSo at 1 week out, I feel more ready for this event than all these put togetherWe look to have a team to go 8:30 for the eventThe coarse is one of the fastest IM in the world, apparentlyWill do a 40km Hilly TT comp this weekend just to get focusedI now hope the puncture Gods are with me on the day and the support/crowd at the event inspire me to reach this goalWill be doing it on a 5 year alloy Cervelo P3 with 90mm Pro-lites, skinsuit and areo helmet.I plan to use 8-9 gels with 1solid bar and go thru 5-6 bottles (this could be depending on the pass out at aid stations)with around 1400 competitors on a 60km bike lap. I also ned to stay out of trouble around corners and careful thought put in the overtaking/chase and keeping the right pace with drafting regs.I will let you know on my and my teams progress / ResultRegardsTroy
